Why your worker leave you?

I saw an article at Facebook (I believe that is the most useful feature of Facebook) about the opinion of alibaba.com founder on the worker resignation. It's in Chinese, I will try to use my limited English with the help of Google to translate it to English.

员工的离职原因林林总总，只有两点最真实：1、钱，没给到位；2、心，委屈了。这些归根到底就一条：干的不爽。员工临走还费尽心思找靠谱的理由，就是为给你留面子，不想说穿你的管理有多烂、他对你已失望透顶。仔细想想，真是人性本善。 - 马云谈员工离职。

In English:

There are various reasons why a worker left, but there are only two reasons are real: 1st, money, not up to the level; 2nd, heart, being wronged. All these are because of a roof cause: not happy in the work. When the worker leaves, he still tried to find an excuse so that he wouldn't drop your face, he doesn't want to disclose how bad is your management skill, and how disappointed is he on you. Think thoroughly, human originally is still kind.

When I left my previous company after 10 years of servicing there, this article expressed my real reason why I left. Another article said, a worker doesn't leaves his company, but he leaves his management. A very simple fact, but how many management willing to accept that they are failure in management? How many willing to change? Worker is the most valuable properties of a company, without these workers, basically a company is a just an empty walking soul that has no direction and progress.

Unfortunately, that day has come

What's hot nowadays? Owning an Android phone or an iPhone? The collapse of the market? The Bersih? Or the resignation?

The most famous resignation is none but the resignation of Apple's CEO, Steve Jobs. I personally have to respect and salute him for his talents and hardworking in bringing the Apple to the world. We all are going to miss this genius.

So, if my post ended here, I believe it will be too short for the day. Ya, finally I have decided to resign from my current company after 10 years of service.

It's not a sudden decision and also not planned. It's just happen that it is time for me to leave this company. The total number of staffs that resigned since beginning of the year is near to 20 people, and mostly are those working for more than 5 years, some reached 25 years of service. The totals of year of service add up to about 200 years, which mean average of year of service is around 10 years.

I totally agreed that whenever there is a change in the management, there will be someone resigned. But, I believe this series of resign is not because of people reluctant to change to accept new management, everyone will agreed with me that, we can’t see our future in this company anymore. Maybe I am a lousy management people, because I don’t know and I can’t see any action or planning to look for income to the company. With current overhead, I don’t think it can last long if there is no positive income in short time, which I really see none.

I can still stay in this company, if I want, to enjoy task-less salary, play facebook’s game, drink tea at mamak, watch movie. But as I said, working is part of my hobby, sitting and doing these unproductive actions will only wasting my life.

It’s really sad to see it end like this, but unfortunately, that day has come. Therefore it’s time for me to leave to search for better future.

I will not miss this company, but it will be remembered.
